A Chalmette woman has been arrested in connection with her 2-year-old daughter being hospitalzed after apparently ingesting pills she found in her mother's home, the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office said.

Tiffany Tommaseo, 22, 2824 Pirate Drive, was booked Wednesday on a warrant charging her with improper supervision of a child and three counts of possession of prescription pills found in her home on Tuesday, St. Bernard Parish Sheriff Jack Stephens said in a news release. Stephens said Tommaseo did not have prescriptions for the pills. Tommaseo is in custody in St. Bernard Parish Prison. No bond has been set.

The daughter remained in the Intensive Care Unit at Children's Hospital in New Orleans where she was held for observation after being brought there Tuesday. The girl had been transported to Children's on Tuesday after her grandmother brought her to the St. Bernard Health Clinic in Chalmette with a medical problem, Stephens said. Hospital officials told sheriff's investigators they believed the girl had a narcotic overdose, he said.

The grandmother had brought the girl to the health clinic after daycare workers called the family to report that the child appeared "lethargic,'' Stephens said.

After medical authorities contacted the Sheriff's Office, deputies found Tommaseo at her home "having a medical problem involving a possible drug overdose,'' Stephens said. She was brought to University Hospital, where she was treated and released later Tuesday, she sheriff said.

Inside the home, agents with the sheriff's Narcotics Unit found several types of narcotic pills including Suboxin, which is a drug used to treat heroin addiction, as well as the painkiller Vicodin and the muscle-relaxer SOMA. A prescription bottle for a different type of drug was found in the mother's name but no prescriptions were found for the pills that were present, Stephens said.
